History

The North American F-100F was developed as a twin-seat trainer but also retained almost all of the operational capability of the single seat F-100Ds. It served with all air forces that flew single seat F-100s.

Development of the F-100F began in 1955, the first twin seat F-100 flew in August 1956 and they began entering service in May 1957.

Apart from its longer fuselage and armament of only two 20mm cannon it had the same capabilities of other F-100s.

Some F-100Fs were used in Forward Air Controller and Wild Weasle operations in Vietnam in the 1960s.

France received 100 F-100s, 85 F-100Ds and 15 F-100Fs.

They flew from bases in the French Sector of Germany and from French bases in the war in Algeria.

This model represents a F-100F of EC2/11 ‘Voges’, Armee de l’Air, c.1975.
